"REPURLICAN FORTUNES" I"

The Senate Committee for the investi-
CATION OF certain charges OF alleged undue
political influence in the appointment
and removal Of Indian Traders, has fin
ished its labors. Chairman Platt has
been interviewed, and the consequence
is that the Associated Press has
sent over the country disgustingly
partisan report OF the develop
ments reached. The testimony taken,
according to Mr.. Platt, and his mischiev-
Gus and malicious mouthpiece, the Asso-
ciated Press, was to the effect that the
removed Republican post traders were
and are political martyrs, that they are
living evidences OF administrative impo-
sition; that they were removed simply
and purely because they were Republi-
cans, and that their successors were
appointed solely because they were DEM
ocrats that these worthy and unfortunate
victims of an Administration spoils sys-
tenn, were causelessly crippled, both in
character and pocket; in character be-
cause they led Republican and blameless
lives, and in pocket because the Indians
were largely in their debt when they
were removed, and thus they are out
both fortune and reputation. Now that
Mr.. Plat, as Chairman of the Committee,
has made haste to wire his partisan
opinion over the land, the country will |
await with much impatience the regular
report of the committee itself. The ut
terances OF Mr.. Piatt will be quite a whet
to the public curiosity. Mr. Piatt
claims to have discovered most extra
ordinary modern product-a nest of honest
Republican officials. The promised ex-
hibition of this singular find is enough
in itself to render the public impatient.
But the people will be curious in anv
case. Should Mr.. Platt fail to secure the
public confidence in the honesty of his
Republican official menagarie, the peo-
pie will still be interested. Thew viii
ask how it has happened that these Ra.
publican servants SO suddenly acon;rad
the handsome fortunes, they have
SO righteously lost, and they win |
demand of Mr.. Platt an explanation of |

THE OPPORTUNITY,

The Park City Record "hopes that the
disloyal, mossback Mormon system OF
public instruction will be speedily wiped
out for the high standard Of the Ameri-
can free school system" The Record is
striking straight from the shoulder. 1t
is sassaulting on the right line. In the
warfare on Church domination, the Nor.
mon educational system is the most
vulnerable point OF attack. In
fact there is no defense possible.
Let this weakest place in the Church in
trenchments be vigorously and per-
sistently assailed. Here is the most
patent gap in the Church armor, and it
is gap fatal in itself. With the over
throw of the Church educational"
system will come the overthrow of the
Church itself. Every Gentle paper in
Utah should awake to a realization of
the opportunity, and promptly, vigor-
ously, and unsparingly assail the Church
power where the Church power displays
its most fatal weakness.

Our Government has determined to
investigate the discovery of inoculation
for prevention of yellow fever, and has
detailed army surgeon Sternberg to con-
duct the inquiry. Drs. Freire and Gererd
made the discovery that yellow fever
may be thus resisted. Two years ago it
was tried in Rio Janeiro, and in 1885 and
and 1886 no less than 6,524 persons were
inoculated there In that time l 1875
persons fell victims to the fever, but of
these only eight who had been inoculated
died. This data is sufficient warrant for
thorough investigation by our Govern
ment, for next to the West Indies and
the east coast OF South America the
United States is most exposed to the
disease.

NOT AMERICAN.

The New York Post thus puts it 1.-The
young men OF the rising generation in the
United States are not seeking education
i'll trades, and why? 1t is because OF the
mate distaste OF native Americans to en-
gage in the turmoil of labor disputes,
strikes, boycotts, demonstrations and de-
bates about the workingman's rights.
They avoid trades and manual labor be-
cause-let it pc repeated-they are un-
willing to waste time in the contention
that agitators seek to keep alive among
workingmen and skilled laborers. The
American stockholder, when he finds
himself duped or betrayed, always
prefers SELLING out'' to fight
ing. The American mechanic ex-
hibits the same peculiarly. He does
not care for an occupation in which he
has to keep striking to get his due. Who
ever, then, engages his energies in the
efforts to remove these causes of COM
plant, contributes to popularization OF
the trades, and just that much removes
the assumed necessity OF the Trades
Unions. The agitation schemes for man
ual training and OF plans OF cooperation,
therefore, are directly in the line OF en-
couragement OF Americans to learn trades
and the encouragement OF their disposi-
ton TO live by their wits.
There can be no manner OF doubt but
that the Post is right in the above re-
marks. La fact the New York paper has
struck keynote. The native American
has "a natural distaste for the turmoil of
labor disputes, boycotts, strikes, demon.
strations, and debates about the working
mans rights" These things are not
native to American soil. They are OF
foreign birth, and they do not flourish
with transplanting. There seems TO be
something inimical to their general health
in the air OF an Atlantic sea voyage.
The native-born American is active, en-
ergetic, intelligent, and self-dependent.
He believes in himself. He desires no
assistance in making a living from or
ganizations. His innate self-respect,
ability and pluck are all the weapons he
wants to face the world with, and they
are sure TO win for him. His own rights.
and the rights OF his great and powerful
class are in no jeopardy. His path is broad
and straight before him, and invariably
leads to success. With his characteristic
firmness and vigor he will pursue that
path. He will join in no unnecessary
agitation and be patient under no blatant
labor demagogism. If he cannot labor
in peace in the trade ranks, he will seek
the paths of business" He will be-
come Il merchant; buyer or seller in
some form or other. He will work out
his destiny strongly but yet quietly.
This alleged American labor agitation is
as foreign as the agitators. The native
American refuses to be agitated.

CIGAR FRAUD CHECKED.

Under q ruling made several years
ago by the then Commissioner OF Inter
nal Revenue, the grossest frauds
have been practiced by cigar man
ufacturers and dealers upon consumers
The ruling enabled manufacturers to ship
domestic cigars to some neighboring for
eign port, where they were re-shipped to
the United States. Passing through the
Custom House the boxes were invested
with the importers stamp thus enabling
dealers to palm off the poorest kind of a
domestic article for imported cigars.
Under the ruling it was not neces-
sary to place upon the boxes the
regular Internal Revenue stamp. So the
only extra cost to the shipper was
the freight charges, which, with that
class OF goods, were but trifiing compared
with the cost Of the stamps. The custom
house inspectors in such cases were in
structed to mark upon the importers
stamps Domestic cigars re-imported." !"
This was done by writing the
words in ink, so that it required
an extremely close examination to
discover the inscription Not one person
In thousand, seeing an importers stamp
upon the box, would notice the writing,
or mistrust that the cigar which he pur-
chased was of domestic instead OF foreign
manufacture. The fraud has been extens-
iVely practiced by San Francisco manufac-
turers, who sent their goods to Victoria,
British Columbia and then returning
them to San Francisco, where they were
sold to retail dealers in the interior, who
disposed of them to their customers as
imported cigars. The ruling, under which
TINS fraud was practiced, was evidently
MADE IN the interest of dishonest
manufacturers and retail dealers, |
ior 1t was in gross violation OF
'iie latter and spirit of section $500 of |
TIE Revised Statutes, upon which it was
aieged TO have been based. Assistant I
secretary Maynard has, however, put a
s'op 10 this fraudulent business. He
mas instructed the customs officers to
soc that domestic cigars, exported for
tue purpose Of being re-imported, are
NOT admitted to entry under
ehe above named section of the statutes.
Out 70 require them to be turned over to
'he Collectors Of Internal Revenue for
such procedure as may be found expedi-
ent under the internal revenue law. The
instruction is a righteous one, for it GER
ealnly Is the duty, as it should be the
policy OF the United States Cover arnent
TO prevent by all possible means.

An I,nportanr Measure.

DIR. Harvey, Of Murray, member
of the Idaho legislature for Shoshone
county, and VINO is now in our city
on his way home from the recent ses-
sion of the Legislature in Boise City,
gave us a pleasant call yesterday and
called our attention to the effort he
has made in the Idaho assembly to
open the northern part of the Occur
d'Alene Indian reservation to settle
ment. The doctor introduced in
the legislature memorial to con-
gress asking that such action be
taken by our national law makers,
and it was adopted without dis
senting vote. Congress is great
body and moves slowly. Relief
from that quarter is likely to be long
delayed, and the doctor was so for
tunate as to find here the members
of the Indian commission sent out
by the government TO examine into
the condition and needs of the red
men, and lost no time in laying the
matter before them. He finds these
anxious to learn all the
facts in the matter, and if the pub
lie interests seem to demand the
opening of that portion of |

cited by emissaries from refugees. No
uprising elsewhere in Bulgaria had
been reported.

Passenger Rates.

NEW YORK, March 4.-The passcn-
ger agents and railroad managers who
have this week been discussing the
provisions of the interstate commerce
bill, have arrived at an understanding
and have prepared report embodying
their views. The purpose was to con-
strue the act uniformly and this has
been done. The report was to-day ac-
cepted by the joint committee and
adopted. This practically finishes the
work OF the passenger department, but
the freight rate committee will be en-
gagged some days yet working out the
minor details of little interest to any
but themselves. The passenger re-
port will not be ready for publica-
ton before next week. Some
points in the report will be referred
to the council before going to the
printer. There will be practically no
change in emigrant rates and no
changes of percentage allowed to

age rates there will be no discrimina.
ton except as to ministers, as stated
in the new bill. Theatrical companies
and shows of all kinds will be obliged
to pay full rates. Excursion rates
Will remain about the same except for
long journeys. The more important
change will be as to section classes
which will be most uniform, though
this will result in marked increase of
present rates over the same routes.

NOted Woman Dead, Il,

INDIANAPOLIS, March "a Journal,
South Bend, Indiana, special reports
that Mother Angelo, one of the most
widely known women of that country,
died very suddenly to-day at Mt.
Mary's academy, an educational in
stitution for females, which she
founded in 1850 mt Notrc Dame.
Mother Angelo was niece of Thos.
Ewing, secretary of state under Pres
ident Harrison, and was educated with
her cousin, now the wife Of General
Sherman, at the Georgetown convent.
She was also n cousin Of James G..
Blaine, both being born in the same
house in Brownsville, Pa, and passing
their earlier years together During
her Washington life Mother Angelo,
then Miss Miss Elvira Gillespie, was n
much courted belle, being noted for
her learning and wit. When twenty
six years old she left society, joined the
order of the Sisters of the Holy Cross.
and coming to South Bend where Rev
Father Sornd had already founded the
university of Nortre Dame, she estab-
lishcd st. Mary's academy, and, under
her administration, it became one OF
the most noted Observation-Disclosures
of the country. In 1870 she became
mother superior of the order for the
United States. During the war she
devoted most OF her time to establish
ing hospitals and overseeing the care
of the sick and wounded soldiers, As
mother superior she foun1ed num-
Der Of female academies throughout
the country.
